“Gratitude is not only the greatest of

virtues, it is the parent of all others.”

~ Cicero

“For the wide sky and the blessed sun, For the salt sea and the running water,

For the everlasting hills And the never-resting winds,

For trees and the common grass underfoot.

...We thank you for our senses…”

~ Walter Rauschenbusch (1861–1918)

excerpt from Thanksgiving Day Prayer

From air and soil, from bees and sun, from others' toil my bread is won. And when I bite, the soil and air, the bees and light are still there.

So I must think each day afresh

how food and drink become my flesh. And then I'll see the air, the sun,

the Earth, the bee and me, are One.

~ Edna J. Ortez in Five loaves and Two Fishes

"A tree is a wonderful living organism which

gives shelter, food, warmth and

protection to all living things. It even

gives shade to those who wield an axe to cut it down"

~ Buddha

“You only have what you give. It's by spending yourself that you become rich.”

~ Isabel Allende
